这个短语的来源应该追溯到卫理公会教派刚刚传到美国的年代。卫理公会教义中把耶酥基督描述成一位就在人们身边的形象而不是遥不可及的角色，深得人心。一大批颇具魅力的布道士在全国游说演说，所到之处"拯救"人们。这些巡回传道者在营地集会中富有激情的号召大家"走近耶酥"（"come to Jesus"）, 告诫那些罪人如果他们不知悔改，将遭到诅咒。走近圣坛-走近基督-从人群中走出来承认自己的罪过，接受拯救。
"The come-to-Jesus moment for me in my understanding of all this came back in 1990," says John Perry Barlow, the retired Wyoming cattle rancher and digital guru who is co-founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. (Washington Post, November 2000)
The come-to-Jesus meeting took place on May 25 at a skybox at Nashville's football stadium, where Gore had gone for a publicity event. He told Coelho that he needed to "work on your relationships." (Newsweek, November 2000)
He'll be meeting with his advisers there, but already they have said this is not a "come to Jesus" meeting, Tony. No plan for any woodshed scoldings. (Carl Cameron, reporting on G.W. Bush's primary loss in New Hampshire, February 2000 on Fox news)
